1. Social media are a cancer to society and one of the biggest threats to democratic countries. They’re propaganda tools for authoritarian foreign governments and domestic far-right politicians. There’s virtually no control at all on social media. You can say what you want without any consequences, you can pretend to be an expert in anything you want, and no one will question your knowledge.

   Goebbels would have loved it.

2. Probably with a little help from TikTok’s Chinese overlords…

   Why doesnt that raise red flags?
